sorry but this is completely wrong and you have misunderstood the purpose of the hide intro text option. A blog view will always show the intro text. The linked full article view will show the full text. the purpose of this option is to hide the intro text from the full article view.

If you want to do this you can make an overwrite, but as Brian said it is not what the option is meant to be.

That is likely :) It has never occured me Brian's explanation.

you can make an overwrite
Yes, I know. But actually I think Brian's explanation of the function makes more sense than mine vague, original idea about it.

Sorry for your time guys.

Sorry to dig up this topic, but there is a discrepancy on how the option to not show the intro is used in html and feed rendering.
If the show intro option is set to false, the html renderer does not show the intro of the article in full article view.
However, if I define the feed to show full article (in Article option Tab Integration), the feed shows both the intro as well as the full article. The feed does not obey / follow the article option not to show the intro in full article view. This is the case in both J3 as J4.
If you do not agree with me, that's fine, but could you please give me a hint where to change this?

I see now that my problem description does not belong here in this topic. I can not delete it, but it should.
I will create a separate topic for it.
